I'm five and a half years 337 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 5: younger than my brother next to me, and I used 338 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 5: to want to be with him everywhere, and the things 339 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: I did around him, I had to do a little 340 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 5: bit more to keep up, and when I got into. 341 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 4: Ninth grade, I was ready to go. 342 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 5: And the guys realized that and they saw it, and 343 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 5: then you know, the rest is history. Because I already 344 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 5: knew if I didn't have a three point ohor better, 345 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 5: it wasn't two point oh in my house, three point 346 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 5: oh A bet, I wasn't gonna play football. And then 347 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 5: when it did, it made me become you know, I 348 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 5: love sports, but it made me also become a better 349 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 5: student as well, because my dad was like, look, dude, 350 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 5: if you could do that, you could definitely do the 351 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 5: easy thing. 352 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,239 Speaker 4: Because nobody was trying to hit you in the classroom. 353 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: And you are so athletic. You did so many things. 354 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: I think you told me the other day on pregame 355 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: that like you had played off, it's a lot. And 356 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: then at one point, so what makes you realize, Okay, 357 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: I want to be a quarterback. When you have rushing ability, 358 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: when you can catch, you can do all these things. 359 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: What made you stick to quarterback? 360 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to be the quarterback. Oh the coach said, 361 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: I'm going to be quarterback. 362 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 5: Because when I was in the so in the sixth grade, 363 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 5: I was a center, and then midway through they moved 364 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 5: me to a running back, and they're like, man, you 365 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 5: fasting everybody on team. Because there was ae hundred and 366 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 5: thirty pounds league. I was five seven and a half 367 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty pounds. I wasn't fat. I was just 368 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 5: big at that size. And then as I moved move up, 369 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 5: so I get to eighth grade, I mean, I'm a 370 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 5: running back, and every time we had to throw a 371 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 5: deep pass, we threw a half back pass. He said, 372 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 5: you know why, I would just move you to quarterback. 373 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 5: And he moved to the quarterback in the eighth grade. The 374 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 5: ninth grade. Boom, I'm doing what I told you earlier. 375 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 5: And I just kept playing it. I played it all 376 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 5: the way through college. And then I began to look 377 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 5: at it in a way like I was I realized earlier. 378 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not gonna be that tall. 379 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 5: I'm probably not gonna play quarterback in the league, but 380 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 5: I could run the football at quarterback because they're gonna 381 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 5: look at the quarterback everything. I'm gonna touch the ball 382 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 5: every snap. And I just looked at it like that, 383 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go out there show him I have. I 384 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 5: have the ability to pass the football. But I'm gonna 385 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 5: be durable, i'mna run the football, and it worked. 386 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: It's funny. 387 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: I talked to Doug Williams about this about how much 388 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: the league has changed. You see all these black quarterbacks 389 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: and leave it. When you were playing, especially in college, 390 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: that was a rarity, especially for being an athletic black man. 391 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: You know, was it tough being a black quarterback and. 392 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 4: The soulf No, it wasn't. 393 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 5: I had seen the come through, you know, so that 394 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 5: was part of the reason I wanted to play, watching 395 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 5: Warren Moon do the things he did. But my coach 396 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: Don Jones, the white guy, he came to me and said, 397 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 5: that guy over that eight ninth grade tell him report 398 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 5: to the varsity field. 399 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 4: We want him to play over here. 400 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 5: And coach Jones basically people wouldn't believe this, but you know, 401 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 5: you hear they questioned guys today about being able to 402 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 5: call their own plays and things of that nature. I 403 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 5: played the ninth grade year, then my tenth grade year. 404 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 5: He said, I need you to really learn the offense. 405 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 5: I said, what do you mean. Remember Willie Satellite Toddon 406 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 5: in the Missippi Valley That's where Jerry Rice went. He said, 407 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 5: we're gonna do that. I'm like, what do you mean, Coach, 408 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 5: I say, they don't go all up. He said, yeah, exactly. 409 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 5: So in the tenth grade, I went from the sideline 410 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 5: to the football and I called the plays starting in 411 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 5: the tenth grade. So if he had that much confidence 412 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 5: in me, why do I give a damn what the 413 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 5: other people say. You know, you got people in the 414 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 5: stand saying what their son, my son should be playing 415 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 5: this that, and you know, no, he shouldn't be. 416 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 4: He can't play. He sucks. He on the bend. And 417 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 4: Coach put me out there. 418 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 5: And one thing I've always been, I've been a guy 419 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 5: where this is what I think God gave me talent. 420 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 5: My thank you to God has take my talent as 421 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 5: far as I can. My daddy always believed in me. 422 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 5: My thank you is to make sure I go out 423 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 5: there and make him proud. Coach Jones decided that I 424 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 5: was the guy. So I want to prove that he 425 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 5: made the right he made the right decision. 426 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 4: I got. 427 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 5: I went to college Nelson Stokey. He said, you out guy, 428 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 5: you know, so why would I go out there and 429 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 5: do nothing but try to make him see that he 430 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 5: made the right decision And then when I got drafted. 431 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 5: I didn't play part return ever in my life kick 432 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 5: return over in my life. But the fact that Joe 433 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 5: Gibbs and Wayne Severe thought I can do it, become 434 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 5: good at it, and say thank you to him by 435 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 5: making sure that everyone believed that they made the right decision. 436 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 5: That's just the way I live. 437 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: It was it tough in that moment, though, because you're 438 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: a college quarterback, you're a very successful college quarterback. You said, 439 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: you know that maybe he didn't have the height to 440 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: play quarterback. But was it a hard transition knowing that, Okay, 441 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to give this position up and try 442 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: something else in the NFL. 443 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 5: I ran the ball one hundred and fourteen times my 444 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 5: freshman year, probably one eighty the next year, right around 445 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 5: two hundred my junior year, and like two thirty my 446 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 5: senior year. I scored five nine, fifteen nineteen touchdowns. I 447 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 5: knew those numbers like that were gonna be looked at 448 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 5: as a runner, and I had no problem with it, 449 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 5: no problem at all, Because I tell people this, my 450 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 5: dream wasn't to play quarterback. My dream was to play 451 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 5: in the NFL. If I wanted to play quarterback, I 452 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 5: was offered a one million dollar guaranteed contract for three years. 453 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: That was more than what I signed for in the 454 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 5: NFL my first two years. But I ended up making 455 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 5: more money after those first three years because we did 456 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 5: win a Super Bowl. I want a lot of damn 457 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 5: and centives. But I could have gone to Canada. Saskatchewan 458 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 5: rough Riders had my rights and I could have gone 459 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 5: to Canada if I wanted to a quarterback. But my 460 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 5: dreams would never CFL. It was always NFL, you know. 461 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 5: And my family got a chance to see me play 462 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 5: in the NFL. My dad passed away right after my 463 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 5: rookie season, you know, and then I was able to 464 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 5: go on to the Super Bowl. My mom and all 465 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 5: of them saw that, and my sister would always say, 466 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: you know, I wish Daddy was here to see it. 467 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 5: I said, he sees it. Yeah, he lives through me, 468 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 5: you know. That's the whole thing about it. And I 469 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 5: get teary eyed. My dad, My dude. But I knew 470 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 5: when that man told me I was a Metro, I 471 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 5: can do anything, and I began to live by that. 472 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 4: I was gonna do whatever the hell I wanted to do. 473 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: See, man, that's so cool. 474 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Man, the way that our parents impacted, especially your fathers, 475 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: and you could tell you got a lot of love 476 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: for your dad. And when did you know, because you 477 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: had all these people that believed in you, had these 478 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: coaches that believe you, had your father that believed in you. 479 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: When you get out. 480 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: There in this new position, when did you know I 481 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: can do something with this return thing, Like I'm special at. 482 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 5: This well, God has this great sense of humor, because, 483 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 5: like I told the Saskatchewan rough Riders, I'm going to 484 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 5: try the NFL if this new thing don't work out, 485 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 5: I'm coming to Canada. And I forgot the exact date, 486 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 5: but it's August nineteen ninety. We're in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 487 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 5: playing against the Atlanta Falcons. First kickoff, catch it, touchdown. 488 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 5: At that moment, I guess if I was doubting myself. 489 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 5: The man upstairs gave me a message that you can 490 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 5: handle this, dude. And then I come off the field 491 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 5: and Wayne Severe said, you haven't done a damn thing yet. 492 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 5: You don't kick off covering, you better be on the tackle. Okay, 493 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 5: I was on the tackle, But I love like these 494 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 5: coaches and they used to come at me and my 495 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 5: stuff they did nothing my daddy didn't do. 496 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: But there as a military guy, you know, I grew 497 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 4: up that way. 498 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 5: You know, it's hot as hell out here today, But 499 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 5: if my pop was here, I probably would have been 500 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 5: up by five thirty outside feeding out chickens and ducks, cows, 501 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 5: all that stuff we had. 502 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 4: I was on the farm. I did everything I had. 503 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 5: To do because if I wanted to play football, I 504 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 5: had to take care of all that stuff early, you know, 505 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 5: And I did it. So I knew at that moment 506 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 5: for sure the new position would work. And then I 507 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 5: had guys on my team, Joe Howard Johnson, Walter Stanley, 508 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 5: guys who took a lot of big interest in. 509 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 4: Me and helped teach me the game of return. 510 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 5: Mel Gray, who played for the Detroit Lions, helped teach 511 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 5: me the game of the return. So I got to 512 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 5: the point where Meil and I had a conversation. We say, look, 513 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 5: this position has been just a throwaway position forever. Let's 514 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 5: make it sexy. Let's make people have to get it done. 515 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 5: And I would have to. I would like to believe 516 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 5: that I had something to do with Devin Hester coming along. 517 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 5: Mail had something to do with Devin heskirt. Because we 518 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 5: were so good at it, teams had to go look 519 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 5: for something like. 520 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Us mentioned your father, you're losing in me your rookie year. 521 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: What was the last game he saw you play? 522 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 5: Ooh, man, he wasn't at the game. He saw the 523 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 5: playoff game. We had a playoff game on TV and 524 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 5: he saw that. And but I'm gonna take to go 525 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 5: back and it's is show you how tough my dad was. 526 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: My dad had a heart attack around December of my 527 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 5: rookie season, and I go home, thinking I'm going to 528 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 5: be there, be caught for him me. I walk in 529 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 5: in the hospital. He said, what the hell are you 530 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 5: doing here? I said, man, you had a heart attack. 531 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 5: I'm coming to check on you. He said, boy, you 532 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 5: better get back and do your job before somebody take 533 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 5: your job. He said, where am I at? I said, 534 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 5: you're in the hospital. Say I'm where the people can 535 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 5: help me. You can't help me. Go back and do 536 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 5: your job. And that mindset stuck with me, dude, because 537 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: I saw it in him while I was growing up, 538 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 5: and when I got to the league. 539 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 4: Can you start to question things a little bit when 540 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 4: little things go bad? 541 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 5: And when that happened later I'm like, I can't complain 542 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 5: about nothing else, you know. So he saw me after 543 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 5: the in the game. He was probably not when he's 544 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 5: me in and then he in up passing away in February, so. 545 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 4: You know, but he left me. What's uthing? I tell 546 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 4: you that. I can tell you that he. 547 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 2: Left you with a lot, man. 548 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: You tell just by the way like hearing you talk, 549 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: it's so funny, like how similar our fathers were and 550 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: growing up like that. So I really appreciate you sharing that. 551 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: And then he got to see you win a super Bowl. 552 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: He got to watch you from above win a super Bowl? Man, 553 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: how special was that moment?

But the ultimate thing is when a 618 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 5: guy takes that time, you're humble. 619 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: You know. 620 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 5: I am a person who totally believe in myself, but 621 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 5: I never ever just go past someone taking their time 622 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 5: to say thank you or I'll put you out there, 623 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 5: because not everybody does. 624 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 4: That, and especially on their moment, you know. 625 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 5: So it made me feel terrific, and I would always 626 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 5: say that. I remember Miguel sais is a look hard 627 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 5: and I got to it, says Brian Mitchell could have 628 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 5: played in our day, bet Miguel Sayers, and I was like, well, 629 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 5: Gail Sairs said that to hell these voters. And then 630 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: now Devin going into the hall. He says it. Yes, 631 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: I feel that makes me a arrive, you know what 632 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 5: I mean. But that may not be good enough for 633 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 5: some people around me. But I've had enough. People said 634 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 5: when I played football games, they kicked away from me. 635 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 4: I was with the Eagles, whatever I was let go. 636 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 5: But John Gruton said, we were worried about one person, Brian. 637 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 5: They kicked the first off, I go seventy five. They 638 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 5: squib kicked the rest of the day. That shows you 639 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 5: that when people try to say you weren't that coach 640 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 5: thought I was. 641 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 4: He got ready for three phases. Worried about me. 642 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: Should Ryan Mitchell be in the Hall of Fame? 643 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 5: Hell yeah, because all the things that are being finally 644 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 5: reached are broken. You think about it. When you look 645 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 5: at the record books, they're breaking my stuff. I know 646 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 5: a lot of people return and things like that. But 647 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: when I left this game, I was at the top 648 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 5: of almost everything special teams wise, and then on top 649 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 5: of it, I went down to tackle people. 650 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 4: I was able to play quarterback. 651 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 5: I was very effective at running back, but you know 652 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 5: what the coaches said, I was more important as a returner. 653 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 5: So my thing is, But when you look at the 654 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 5: actual return stuff. I left in charge of all of that, 655 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 5: and a lot of them still sit and a lot 656 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 5: of them won't ever be broken. 657 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: Well, and this is somebody that never returned a kick. 658 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 5: I got to the league. That is what you start 659 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 5: paying me. Boy, I got to be good, he said. 660 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: Listen, I gotta keep this back coming in. Now you 661 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: look at the game. Now it's different again. The returns 662 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: are so much different. Now, what would Brian Mitchell do 663 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: in today's NFL. 664 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 5: I would have to be acting just like the young 665 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 5: buck wearing number thirty. Right now, I'll be returning on them. Listen, man, 666 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 5: you remember you and I had a conversation before the 667 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 5: season started, preseason I think it was, and then training camp. 668 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 5: I say, it's gonna take running back tights. You to 669 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 5: be good at this because right now it looks more 670 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 5: like an offensive play running through the line. The first 671 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 5: touchdown this year was DJ Dallas, Yes, running back then 672 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 5: Austin and they called it back but then he had 673 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 5: a big one again, Yes Cincinnati, because they hit the line, 674 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 5: full speed receivers, defensive backs that return, they hit the 675 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage and they worry about the big people. Yeah, 676 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 5: they start to stutter, and then when you stuttering, you 677 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 5: allowing people to run to you. 678 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 4: When you hit and go. 679 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 5: People don't like it, they say I would love it, 680 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 5: because I'm gonna tell you I have twenty three, three 681 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty. I might have twenty eight thousand and 682 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 5: three thirty if I ran through that stuff right there. 683 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 5: You don't have no momentum to come and hit me. Please, Barb, 684 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 5: I'm about to give you a damn headache. I'm serious 685 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 5: because I use this thing, and I used the biggest 686 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 5: show to pass and running back a where and I 687 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 5: did not mind sharing them with people. 688 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: And you mentioned number thirty watching Austin Eckler do that 689 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: and somebody like you, of course, like we talked about 690 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: this too. I was actually surprised your jersey wasn't retired, 691 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: just to all the things you had done. But I 692 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: feel like you take pride and seeing that number thirty 693 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: out there, especially when God's out there balling. 694 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 5: I take pride when someone plays well yeah, because we've 695 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 5: had some guys in number thirty, I kind of felt 696 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 5: that they were just trying to shut me. But the 697 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 5: ultimate thing, I remember when Austin got the number, and 698 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 5: I would say finally I could be proud. Yes, and 699 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 5: people like, well, man, he didn't play well last year. 700 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 5: I said, look, man, that dude had injuries last year. 701 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 5: Now you find out he had two high ankle springs. 702 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 5: I watched him play. See this is the difference between 703 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,239 Speaker 5: me and a lot of other guys. I look at 704 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 5: the league and I look for guys that are someone 705 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 5: that you may not think or someone that probably came 706 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 5: from He wasn't drafted, he's late, a guy that went 707 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 5: to a smaller school. I pull for those guys, you know, 708 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 5: people that are a little small like Tanner. I was 709 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 5: always a friend of I mean a fan of Tenne 710 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 5: before he came to Washington. But when you see Austin 711 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 5: and I used to watch how much he lived and 712 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 5: the work he put into and then you look at 713 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 5: the level of success he had, you have no choice 714 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 5: but to respect that dude. 715 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 4: And then when he came here, I'm like, oh, cool, cool. 716 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 4: And I asked some. 717 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 5: Guy on social media where it was with your number? 718 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 5: I said, I don't care if my number or not. 719 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 5: I have a right, yes to feel comfortable or not 720 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 5: with somebody wearing it. When I see somebody put it 721 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 5: on and they don't make plays, and that don't make 722 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 5: you feel good, you know, because people don't understand when 723 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 5: you get a number and you're good at it, it 724 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 5: becomes a part of you. So you always want to 725 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 5: see it elevated. And I think arstin elevation like hell, 726 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 5: and it ain't got nothing to do with me. It's 727 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 5: because that's who he is. 728 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 4: You know. 729 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 5: You gotta love guys like that man squad over six hundred. 730 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 5: I did that bench over four hundreds did that? 731 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 4: You know? 732 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 5: I love seeing that type of thing. And you know 733 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 5: why I started doing it because Barry Sanders did it 734 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 5: in college. 735 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: And this is in lip service because when we're watching 736 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: these games, b Mitch, when when number thirty has the vall, 737 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: he's Volain Beevich is excited. It's so happy, and it's 738 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: so interesting to me, like when I talk to all 739 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: the legends, because you would play for multiple teams, like 740 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys like Wonton Fletcher. 741 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: Right, but you chose to make this home. 742 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: You chose to stick around because you could have went 743 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: back to where you're from, Right, What made you decide 744 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: to stick around here and stay closer to Burgundy. 745 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 5: And go Well, I think When I got my chance, 746 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 5: it was here in Washington, and the fans always loved me. 747 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 4: They didn't want me to go anywhere. 748 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,439 Speaker 5: But like when you cut your teeth and you become 749 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 5: a man, somewhere, that's where you establish yourselves. Like success 750 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 5: has always been, you don't don't become something and then 751 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 5: just go back and be and go back to what 752 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 5: you were.

When I went 755 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 5: to Philly, people say they want by Philly fans, but 756 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 5: you know what those fans said, Yeah, man, if you 757 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 5: would go in the Hall of Fame, you deserved to 758 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 5: go in as washing it if you were that longer, 759 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 5: they understand it. 760 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,240 Speaker 4: And I went back to Washington. 761 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 5: You know, I went back to Washington because the love 762 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 5: I got there from people that didn't know me, but 763 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 5: they saw me grow up. And when I left, they 764 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 5: didn't want to see me leave. And I left because 765 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 5: I was kicked out of the door.

And you know, I learned that in life, 821 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 5: everybody's not gonna like you. But one thing I get constantly. 822 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 5: I don't always agree with you been, but you always 823 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 5: say what you truly believe. It's all I care about hearing. 824 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 5: You don't have to believe in everything I say, but 825 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 5: give me the respect that I am willing to voice 826 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 5: my opinions even if I don't, we don't agree, or 827 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,879 Speaker 5: if you don't like it, but you give me, give 828 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 5: me the level of respect because I'm gonna say what 829 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 5: I believe. 830 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say what you believe. 831 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,479 Speaker 1: And it's been nice seeing you be a broadcaster because 832 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: you put in all that work. I've heard you about 833 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: you on the football field. I feel like you put 834 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: that work into your broadcasting. And the way we were raised, 835 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: our father's man, they raise us to have the mentality worry. Yeah, 836 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: this is good, but it's not good enough. Right, Yeah, 837 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: this is good. Black can do more. Yeah, this is good. 838 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: Black can do better. So you've accomplished all these things. Man, 839 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: you won your Super Bowl, you made it to the NFL, 840 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: You're an accomplished broadcaster. Have you been able to shake 841 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: that or do you still carry that this is good? 842 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 2: But I can do better? 843 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 5: Oh no, No, that's gonna be there, be with me 844 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 5: the rest of my life. You know, when you get kids, 845 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 5: You know, my I wanted to be great for my son. 846 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 5: I could be better for the next and I had 847 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 5: three daughters after that, so I want to be great 848 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 5: for them. And then now I got grandkids. So and 849 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 5: that's the best job I've ever had in my life. 850 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 5: Father and grandfather. But what you do, you always want 851 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 5: to improve it because like my dad told me, he said, 852 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 5: you make sure my grandkids lies are easier than yours was. 853 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 4: So I had to tell my kids the same thing. 854 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 5: And if we can build that type of culture in 855 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 5: our family, we can always have somebody looking up instead 856 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 5: of having a phase where people aren't doing good. 857 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 4: So I try to keep pushing. 858 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: That and be you know, I lost my father as well, 859 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of times about what our 860 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: conversation will be when I see him again, and what 861 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: we'll talk about and what he'll say to me, What 862 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: do you think your father said? 863 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 2: When you guys finally get to have that conversation. 864 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 5: He would probably say job well done, but he'll find 865 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 5: one thing to say, well, you could have done this 866 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 5: a little bit better. I would probably bust out laughing 867 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 5: because I know it. I know what he'll tell me, 868 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 5: because as he always said, I don't ever want you 869 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 5: to get complacent. I'm always gonna be trying to push 870 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 5: you and put is because I love you, and that 871 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 5: saying sticks with you. You know, people do things sometimes out 872 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 5: of spite or whatever else, but when someone is doing 873 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 5: something out of love, you just accepted and move on. 874 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 5: Because I also know that that love is the thing 875 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 5: that pushed me and guided me to get to where 876 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 5: I am and all the things I accomplished because I 877 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 5: knew that that dude believed in me, and he pushed 878 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 5: me and made sure everywhere I needed to be or 879 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 5: what I needed to have something or to accomplish it, 880 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 5: I had it no matter what, you know, so I 881 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 5: wouldn't worry about that. But I know he'll be like 882 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 5: you did, good man, but. 883 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: It's great to hear the way that your father mentioned 884 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: you and these coaches will and now you do that 885 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 1: as well. You stay closer to the facility. You see 886 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: these guys. You're looking at this team. Now you've seen 887 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: a lot of Burgundy and gold teams, but this is 888 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: a little different. Talk about what you're seeing right now. 889 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: Why there's so much new energy around the building. 890 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 5: Well, this team went through years where it was like down. 891 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 5: And I tell people over and over again, no matter 892 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 5: what people say, we don't listen to it outside, we 893 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 5: don't worry about this. Well, that's not us. 894 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 4: You can't help it. 895 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 5: The way media is today, no matter what negativity is around, 896 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 5: you're gonna it's gonna get to you. 897 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 4: And things subconsciously affect people. 898 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 5: And now when you look at this thing, it looks 899 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 5: like nothing but newness. A lot of energy is here 900 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 5: because with Josh and Mitch and Magic and all these 901 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,800 Speaker 5: guys bring in a lot of energy is here because 902 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 5: of how Dan Quinn and Adam Peters are working this thing. 903 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 5: And then when you look at it, you have a veteran, 904 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 5: veteran players like you know Wagner, who probably is going 905 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 5: into the Hall of Fame, but it's a worker. Yes, 906 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 5: you know, uh, you have guys on this team, h 907 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 5: young guys. Okay, I'm awesome, awesome to another one because 908 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 5: he's a guy who's gonna probably do some unbelievable things. 909 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 5: But then you have a young guy who's coming in 910 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 5: here to lead this thing, who has the mindset of 911 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 5: a veteran old player. I want to work, i want 912 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 5: to get better, and I'm not satisfied with anything. And 913 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 5: if I've always said this, if the star of your team, 914 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 5: Tom Brady, Alex Reveshkin, Michael Jordan, if those guys are 915 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 5: working the hardest, nobody else has an excuse. Nobody has 916 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 5: an excuse. So Jade and Daniel rolls in, Heisman Trophy winner, 917 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 5: second und second pick in the first round, comes into 918 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 5: your team, whether he thought or whatever, he's a face 919 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 5: of your franchise. And people say he's in there at 920 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 5: five something in the morning, he's last to leave. And 921 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 5: then you look on what happens. You got another little 922 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 5: guy in mikel Serren Steel. 923 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 4: He starts doing it. 924 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 5: He's basically doing stuff on the defensive side that young 925 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 5: guys don't only do. And then here we go Luke McCaffrey. 926 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 5: He shows up every time Jamee's there, here's gonna be 927 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 5: more people. So if the whole mindset of the team 928 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 5: is to put the work in, you're gonna have success. 929 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 5: So and I think the players see it now. The 930 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 5: fans are starting to get a little bit of what 931 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 5: we get a chance to see at practice and things 932 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 5: of that nature, and we get to we get you 933 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 5: get to see what the players are talking about. A 934 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 5: rookie season is gonna go like this. But we've already 935 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 5: seen in three games that this kid's special. And I think, 936 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 5: you know, when you put the work into things, you 937 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 5: get great things out. And I think he's done what 938 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 5: he needs to do. So let's sit back and relax 939 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 5: and get popcorn ready. 940 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: Get the popcorn ready.
